Our chamber concert this year will feature Schubert's Rosamunde Overture. The overture, in a modified sonata form, begins with a dramatic opening which then becomes lively and lyrical.
Next is Bottesini's Gran Duo Concertante, originally written for two double basses and orchestra. The piece was premiered in Venice in 1844 by Giovanni Bottesini and Giovanni Arpesani. Double concertos were generally composed for different instruments and Bottesini soon adapted the piece as a duo with violin.
Finally, we'll perform Schumann's Symphony No. 1. Premiered in Leipzig in March 1841, the symphony original bore titles for the four movements: “The Beginning of Spring,” “Evening,” “Merry Playmates” and “Spring in Full Bloom.” The titles were deleted before publication but are still perfect epigrammatic invitations to this music.
Our concert will be in St Peter's Church in Hook Norton and we look forward to welcoming you there.
